Plot
Torchwood investigate influencers, with Ng assigning Tyler to Chris and Mr Colchester to Flavella whilst she and Orr break into Octavia's flat. They find that her live stream is continuing despite her being in an advanced stage of decomposition and that there is nothing unusual about her mobile phone aside from it somehow retaining charge. Another influencer, Katie Dazzle, has been posting for three months since her death thanks to an app which her sister is unable to stop.
Tyler begins a sexual relationship with Chris and learns about People Fluid, a social media aggregator which plans his life around posting content, but he storms out when Chris tries to arrange a time for them to record for his After Dark. He sends a clone of Chris's feed to Ng and Orr and explains how his phone is charged by his natural electrical field, which could be responsible for the influencers' deaths.
Mr Colchester shoots Flavella's phone and explains how influencers have been dying of aneurysms, but guards from People Fluid provide her with a new phone and threaten him by repeatedly dunking his head in a swimming pool. She and Chris are both inundated with bad news on their timelines after turning down several sponsorships, which Mr Colchester believes has made Flavella a liability to People Fluid. Tyler distracts Chris from his grief over dying cancer patients by kissing him.
